“Sweet and gracious”

thats sad but what a great man and what he gave to the entertainment industry. You will be remembered Mr. Fonda

He said, 'I know what it's like to be dead'

Xxxxxxx

istersay Children in cages,raped. I wonder if we will hear his name in the future exposing bust? He will be remembered more for that then anything now. Sad he didn't amend that before passing.

RIP Captain America.

More B.S.... Sweet and gracious man Peter Fonda? Ah..no I read his tweets.

Boy he so looks like his dad on this pic

He will be missed. I was in New Orleans when the 'Easy Rider' crew came through to shoot the mausoleum scenes. I was working in a local House of Horrors on Bourbon St.

sweet & gracious? as long as hes not RAGING & Attacking/threatening Women & children? More Hollyweird Lies & Coverups LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder TrumpDerangementSyndrome POTUS realDonaldTrump The world is a better / safer place now DonaldJTrumpJr MAGA Trump2020KAG

Hope the devil has him in a cage full of rapists.

“sweet and gracious man” ha good one! Nah nah nah nah hey hey....

Gracious? Nope. Wanting a child to be raped by pedophiles is only 'gracious' in the deepest bowels of Hollywood and Hell.

Cant say i am sad... such a pathetic human being!! only Fonda that was amazing was Henry !!!

Trump when he heard this Jackass died!

Sweet and Gracious🙄 yeah Right!!

Nasty and disgusting is more like it. Good riddance

Real sweet and gracious

Sweet and gracious? Lmmfao, he was a shit stain....

My favorite Fonda! Rest in peace and thank you for all of your contributions. You will truly be missed.

Well....bye.

Bye, PeterFonda.

Really....sweet and gracious

Who cares , yawn

Sweet and Gracious aren’t the words that come to mind.

Straight Hollywood trash

Sweet and gracious...

PattyArquette He even warned us about the child in charge.🙏

PattyArquette What a profound loss 4 the world & the universe😪😪

PattyArquette RIP

If there is a Hell, this man is there. If he can OPENLY advocate for the rape of the President’s son, then just thing of what this bastard did behind closed doors. Pedowood’s best are dying and the world is a safer place.

Four Harleys ago, I could not sleep one night and I watched Easy Rider for the umpteenth time. Peter will be missed.

Peter Fonda was a disgusting human being who tweeted Baron Trump should be placed in a cage with pedophiles. May he burn in Hell!

My deepest condolences!!

He was an ass hole.

I’m wishing for just that and pray for his soul

yashar

yashar Gross.

yashar He had a twisted mind.

yashar Nasty man.

yashar Nasty man.

Good grief. “Sweet” and “gracious” is just not who he was. Does anybody remember his vile tweets?

yashar Nothing sweet and gracious about suggesting that a young child should be put in a cage a raped by pedophiles because you disagree politically with the child's father. That was an oddly vile statement by Peter Fonfa...that may suggest he was a pedophile.

Sweet my ass , he was nasty

Great Actor, Great Family!! RIP

This pic looks just like his dad Henry.

🍺🍺raising one in his honor. RIP

Sweet & gracious? Is that what we call men who suggest little boys should be sexually assaulted? Pfft.
